Description

We answer one of the most common questions we receive as running coaches: how many miles (or kilometers) should you run per week?
Discussion points include:

Why your weekly training volume is fluid, not static

The rationale for high-volume training

Why you need to consider strength training, cross-training, nutrition, and lifestyle into determining your weekly training volume

Individual response and why some athletes may not need high mileage

Why training time matters more than miles or kilometers

Training volume is dependent on the frequency of running

How to use past performances to guide your training

Finding the balance of volume and intensity

What to do if you are struggling to increase low mileage


We also answer a listener's question about how to carry your gels on race day.
